The current research investigates ... -
Pervious concrete as a sustainable solution for pavements in urban areas
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)In the last few years, the use of pervious concrete as a pavement material in low-volume road applications (parking lots, residential roads, pedestrian zone or sidewalks) has gained importance due to its positive environmental ... -
Planning, configuration and usefulness of microseismic monitoring on Eastern-Europe platform – example from east Pomerania
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The microseismic monitoring is a method of monitoring of fracture propagation during hydraulic fracturing process. The method uses array of geophones to localize micro tremors induced by liquid pumped underground at high ... -
Zero waste MSW management challenges in Klaipėda district
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Production volumes are increasing by growing economy and consumption processes. Industry and other eco nomic activities generate municipal solid waste stream. With growth of the industry, economy and pace of consumption ... -
Sustainable concretes – through reducing the water absorptivity to improved durability
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Water absorptivity (WA) is one of the crucial parameters affecting the penetration of aggressive ions when concrete material is exposed to an aggressive environment and is closely linked with a depth of penetration of water ... -
Analysis of carbon dioxide in kindergartens in Poland
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Children in kindergartens spend between five and ten hours a day, the quality of air inside is very important. Kindergartens are public buildings. Kindergartens in Poland do not have mechanical ventilation, most often use ... -
The noise produced by the air handling units depending on the type of engine
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The elaboration is the study is to examine the difference in the sound level in the air handling units made by the same producer. These units are of the same design parameters and components, and supply air and exhaust ... -
Rural landscape shaping through the introduction of trees in land consolidation projects in Poland
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Land consolidation works carried out in Poland are mainly aimed at the improvement of spatial structure of plots in agricultural holdings. However, modern trends indicate the necessity of compliance with sustainable rural ... -
Heavy metals leaching of MSWI bottom ash: effect of short-term natural weathering
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Municipal solid wastes incineration (MSWI) is an important part of the waste management systems in many European countries. Incineration process generates two main by roducts: fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA). Bottom ash ... -
Research on the dynamics of changes in the sight-aesthetic quality of rural lake district landscapes in the aspect of implementing the European Landscape Convention
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The article presents selected methodological assumptions of developing and evaluating landscape attribute maps that could be used in the process of the implementation of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). The Convention ... -
Heavy metals uptake by trees near a waste incinerator
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Incinerators produce energy burning virtually everything including waste, but emit pollutants such as heavy metals and carbon monoxide (CO). These substances can be uptaken by trees through their roots, leaves or stems. ... -
An attempt to improve air quality in primary schools
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Most primary school buildings in Poland rely on natural ventilation. This fact is attributed to the age of these buildings constructed more than dozen or even several tens of years ago. Few of them were fitted with a ... -
